Jeremy Wade's is not a fisherman ,he is The Fisherman.

I actually laughed out loud 🤣🤣 Saying Jeremy Wade “was incredibly lucky” when he caught that tiger fish!! Haha, no… of all people, Jeremy catching the exact fish he was targeting isnt exactly luck… he may have been lucky he took the precautions he did to not get killed… but his skill and knowledge far out weighs his luck when catching rare fish!! (For anyone who’s unfamiliar with him… he is the host of River Monsters)

Never thought I'd hear "Sharks seem like peaceful and innocent" over the fish 🐠

Jeremy is the most patient fisherman going, I loved watching his fishing expeditions, & I remember he caught a bull shark in the outback of Australia, & seeing if piranas actually attack people who had their blood in the water, & they didn't attack him at all, but he can do that stuff on his own!! Great information.

But this does not detract from the fact that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

Imagine what’s lurking in oceans on distant planets out there…

Some nice nostalgia from all those River Monsters episodes.

As a kid the scariest fish to me was a bullhead, especially because one of our favorite fishing holes required us to walk threw 100 tards of reeds and we did this barefoot. The risk of stepping on one and having the dorsal spine pop through the bottom of your foot was all too real and a frequent experience but it never stopped us. Fishing can be a hell of drug...

Me and my dad used to snorkel dive in Tasmania couple years ago before his health deteriorated. He had the spear gun and I had a sling, dad came out onto the pier at the end of our dive all weak and saying he felt faintly. According to him he was shooting Flathead and Trumpeter when he saw some eyes and the outline of (what he thought) a fish nose in the sand, shot it, and immediately felt like crap. Told me he shot a Star Gazer thinking it was a large Flathead and only after we got home we learned that they can produce an electrical discharge as a means of self defense. During this time he'd not long had invasive heart surgery to apply a stent in his coronary artery. Really lucky the discharge wasn't excessively strong.

"fun" fact :once a girl swam close to shore and died it was found that a needle fish ran straight through her perfective goggles and into the brain through the eye and she wasn't the only person to die to these fish in that area

Even better I raised a Goliath tigerfish for 7 years and reached over 3'! It passed away last week unexpectedly and unfortunately for me, that situation broke my heart! Regardless the animal is very smart and being an apex predator it's not surprising. When it ate, it would wait a few seconds before attacking it's food, which was tilapia fillets. Regardless the animal gets a bad wrap I can speak from experience keeping that creature, 10 years with African tigerfish, 7 yrs with him, is that they are big pansies and get upset and freak out over the smallest irritation, the fish is incredibly smart on top of recognizing me over anyone else. I am very blessed to have had the freshwater "great white" in my possession and what a fantastic creature it is and the amount of time, patience and understanding of that animal will only aid in it thriving in one's hands!

Mr WATOP and Steve, I absolutely love your videos. They are educational and full of humour, be it in the commentaries or the editing. Great job, dude. Please keep em coming. 👌🏼 PS - office Xmas party last night. Drank too much « bubbles »… I feel like a crumpled fish made out of plasticine myself today. Eeeeerk.

Electro Shock eyes? Are. You. Freakin‘. KIDDING ME!? 😂

As a kid in Hawaii I swam and surfed and fished where there were tons of needlefish and I never saw one jump out of the water, and they are very passive underwater. I liked to see them - they're so long and skinny!

Appreciate that you don't use clickbait. Learn so much from watching your channel in the past year. Happy holidays!!

Dude said a flock of fish lmao

Man, that Goliath tiger fish though! Looks really vicious and awesome, I'm glad I get to see it at least in a video. Imagine a piranha that big!

So much of the footage was from river monsters !! I love seeing that show get recognition !! Awesome video

That box fish is too op lmao

I live in Finland and let me tell you when a pike that is at least 5 Kilos bites down on your finger it hurts really bad bc there is teeth in the top section that point inwards you can't really get the finger out if it chops it

I actually swam with needlefish once its pretty cool just as long as you live during the process

Kudos on this episode! Thanks!

I'll tell you a Story told by a Fisherman. My Grandpa used to drive up to Canada from New York City (Bronx) to go fishing in Canada for Pike and Muskie. He told me that he saw one snaps the legs of a Deer and the Fish (I'm not sure which one species) feasted and tore it apart! He said he wouldn't have believed it, if he didn't see it for himself.

thank you dear WATOP team I acually kinda like needle fish and will try to use this illuminating knowledge next spring to my advantage ....gotta get some support drones equipped with ultra strong led panels to light up my fishing spots....or just stepping around in the shallows with a flashlight attached to a fork.....

so cool

I have 2 Goliath tiger fish & 4 wolf fish in my predator tank…they seem to get along so far… on the other hand, these fish are amazing!

I love your show, very informative and you sound like Kermit The Frog's older brother.

Aimara wolf fish is also a beast like the goliath tigerfish. Both are great for fish keepers

As a southerner, I've caught many alligator gar. Once you get them skinned out, you end up with large fillets of white boneless meat that has just enough gristle in it to hold together on the grill without a basket. And old Vietnamese woman taught me how to skin them out and cook them. They're really quite tasty and worth the work!

You talked about EVERYTHING BUT them killing crocs. You just said they bite them.

I was born in Japan and came to San Diego on The USS Enterprise across the equator. Talk about helpless in the largest body of water you have ever seen. As far as you could see, nothing but ocean. It had just been release as a Nuclear Carrier and was sparkling clean. What a beautiful ship.

Have to agree, wiith viewers, Jeremy Wade is a LEGENDARY angler in EXTREME fishing🎣. HE ROCKS!! His catch and release policy just won my ♥ heart. Im seriously hooked on his RIVER MONSTORS series, he's the REEL DEAL!! 😉

I wouldn’t wanna swim around a Goliath tiger fish lol

I dont mess with the ocean and it doesn't mess with me

@ 1:35, the Florida Keys kayaker woman was probably speared by the much bigger hound fish, which can grow to the size of a small barracuda.

Alligator Gar are dinosaurs. Their scales/armor is unlike most other animals you have ever seen

The yellow boxfish evolved to learn the ultimate defensive technique from giraffes - the pasta machine.

Down here in the south (USA) we have catfish that get super big , and they will eat anything . The spoonbill catfish I've seen being caught back in the 80s were hardly ever under four feet long , most were five to six feet in length, that's a big fish to be snag fishing for lol . But the meat is the best catfish you'll ever eat . If you don't get eaten by one of it's cousins first lol.

Gars are hard to cut but you don't need a hatchet to clean them just a utility knife to split them in half to get to the delicious meat.

I did NOT expect to see Minecraft in a nature channel, well done, you made me do a spit take.

I didn’t realise that you can get flocks of needle fish. - thank god for KZfaq for enlightenment.

I remember fishing with my Dad in the Chobe (next to the Okavango). We were after catfish, light tackle, maybe 3kg max. Anyway we caught a load of Tigerfish tackle, the hook was about 4 inch, with 1/8 inch metal trace and nylon line like a bootlace. We kept the tackle and decided not to go after Tigerfish that day.

I ocean fished off the coast of Newport, Oregon and we caught tons of Ling Cod. They really are crazy facinating fish. I always thought Wolf eels were terrifying but apparently they have shown to be friendly to divers. I thought they would have an attitude like a wolverine by the looks of them. (An other dangerous fish I saw Jeremy Wade interact with giant Pacific Long fin eels in New Zealand or Papuan New Guinea. I can't remember the exact location. The Giant Pacu, and the Giant Gouch catfish have attacked humans as well)

Im in the pacific and Needlefish are epic! We dont fear them lol. When I scuba dive or even just swim I get a school of them just happily swimming along side me. We love it! Also theyre great natural warning signs to any sharks close by, suddenly the Needlefish will just scatter.. THATS when you have to look out!

This channel keeps getting better

mindblown, subbed , this episode was very edutaining

I see these all over (SW*) FL. Ive never thought about them being dangerous until watching this lol

Can you imagine encountering the Goliath Tigerfish while swimming wow

God: "How many teeth do you want?" Pacific Lingcod: "Yes"

“They wiggle their… bait” 🤣

The fish gets revenge?!!

Where is Steve? I hope he is ok. Love your content.

Great video thank you 👏👏👏👍.

The scariest thing on River Monsters, to me, was the Humboldt squid. It rams into you and stabs you with tentacle spikes until you're too tired to swim and you drown.

I used to go fishing for alligator gar We tried to catch this 7 ft gar with a net but we couldn't get to the net soon enough If the water is deep enough they'll come right up to the shore This was at locking damn 13 in Barling or Fort Smith Arkansas

I’ve caught a needle fish before and I never new they caused that much of a threat

Needlefish be like HELLO WHO'S READY TO PLAY DARTS xD

Superman: killer eyes? Ive too 😂

Here in Ohio there's gar's here that are basically identical... I've personally seen them 6 ft long they eat anything

i wonder if there exists stories about sharks being friendly towards humans without TheDodo's source citing

And here I am thinking bull sharks were unhinged, these Goliath tigerfish aren’t playing either

I have never heard of anyone ever saying that a pike shed their teeth in summer. Maybe they might have some of their teeth ripped out in a heated attack on prey or another pike but never dropping out just like that. I know this because when i catch pike in summer, they still have their teeth. (While its known more as an autumn/winter sport, you can still fish for them in summer. The art is to return them to the water as quick as you can and rest them before releasing. oxygen levels in the water are quite low in summer and long fought battles when they are hooked really exhaust them and will kill them if you dont return them to the water quick enough... Look after the fish, and the next time you catch it, it might be even bigger)

hi

Okay, so where in this 12+ minute video is the one fish that actually kills crocodiles?

Thank you for teaching me about the box fish

It’s crazy how this guys job is just grade 5 presentations about animals 😂

He was ready to die he was ready to accept his Fate by a Needle Fish given to him by the Sister of Fate, but they denied him againg

Hold up ✋ 🤚 Gar fish ARE eaten in south Louisiana. It’s a dry meat so you have to mix the meat with mashed potatoes and fry them in balls. Unfortunately it’s called, yup, Gar Balls. This is a thing we do… unfortunately…

Needle fish: I heard you got light lemme just jump into the ship

A northern pike, but no musky in this list of predators ☠️😎 excellent photography, diagrams and information regardless! ❤️

I caught several needle fish in Florida and it is terrifying trying to get the hook out of their mouth, and we didn’t even have pliers or gloves we had to use our hands

Crocy boy still dominate

12:12 - having never missed a lottery draw, this one looks like all his numbers finally came up... before realising that he forgot to call into the shop on the way home from work to buy a ticket.

why did bro start roasting the last fish lmao

1:33 sometimes these videos make my day😂

I was here for 12 minutes and 13 seconds of Croc killers and just got a bunch of Cod talk. WA, I thought I never say this about your vids, but you missed the mark on this one Bro.

So many of these fish no one has ever heard of. So many are very very aggressive. You gotta wonder how many of these were created by in a secret lab somewhere in the world. (Or your not paying attention) Now that man knows how, it's going to get strange. And they will all be aggressive. Just like as in the days of Noah....(this was the reason for the flood-book of Enoch expounds upon this, and here we are again...)

Thanks for the vids

As a fish it must be nice to wake up and decide “hmm, I think I’ll have some crocodile today” lmao

Am scared of killer whales

I caught a needle fish in Florida a few months ago, and the teeth was crazy sharp

you find very useful things thank you for that

I LAUGHED SO MUCH when u showed the Minecraft fish 😂

I caught a needlefish in southern New Jersey, brackish water. Fished the spot for 15 years never caught another one. It might be a member of the needle fish family but idk it was exactly the fish first shown. Silver, I caught it on a grass shrimp I had rigged to float. I remember trying to indentify it a dbag i ad trouble. Nothing from my area fit. I've caught " triggerfish " at this same spot one or two other times prior. Triggerfish is a broad term for tropical fish that somehow end up where they're not really supposed to be,

i used to see a gar pike on st. claire all the time. it would just float past my fishing area and check me out. it was about a foot maybe a foot and a half long and looked prehistoric. it would always be swimming closer to the top of the water. thats nothing compaired to some of the monster fish in the amazon and other areas tho haha

Getting stabbed by a needlefish is the fishermens version of dying on the toilet...

It's waaaay more common for crocodiles to eat Goliath Tiger fish. 👌

just swam in shallow ocean days ago it was beautiful fishs corals

Once while scuba diving in an old gravel pit exploring a submerged box car, something knocked me face first into the silt. Back on shore I looked out to see there was a very large alligator gar swimming at the surface near the surface. The teeth left marks that went into the aluminium.

Thank you very cool info!!!

The Goliath Tiger Fish seems to share a lot of characteristics with the Xiphactinus that lived during the Cretaceous. They look very similar as well. I wonder if that means anything?

Here in the Northeast we use lures that are shaped after needlefish for striped bass I never knew that it's a dangerous bait fish LOL

Needle fish are like swords underneath the water 💀

11:25 "when you are a BOX with fins.."😂

The yellow box fish is ADORABLE!!! I’d actually switch from a freshwater tank to a saltwater simply to be able to keep something even similar to it.

Cool video!

I always thought starfish and sea horses were the oceans deadliest. 😂

I caught a MASSIVE Northern Pike, Jack Fish, Slew Shark in Northern British Columbia on the Yukon Border... it was about 48 inches Long it took me about a 1/2 Hour Plus to reel her in.... this was in about June July and the Big Jack had what I thought at the time Missing Rotten or Mushy Teeth... I thought it was just a Old Fish BUT maybe they do grow New Teeth... I do Know you never pick up a Northern Pike by the gills with bare hands unless you enjoy Bleeding :)

Very cool and excellent information about weird looking fishes.

Reminded me of an Andy Griffith episode regarding pike, and carp.
